Sorry Guys I hadnt even noticed this came back up... I can take some better pictures and post up. I used the mastercraft seat bracket to do this setup and really all I had to do was drill out the holes a little bigger. I have the Tuffy Deck in the back so I couldnt fit my seats as far back as I would have liked. It does reduce quite a bit of the leg room in the back but im not sure if thats because I had to move the seats further forward to make it fit with the tuffy deck. The head room is good as long as you dont have anyone that is i would say over 6'4". I would recomend maybe making your own seat bracket instead of using the mastercraft one. The bracket they made puts those seats a little higher than I would have liked and if you make a bracket yourself you could probably make them lower and push them back as long as you have the room in the trunk. I will try and get some good pictures and feel free to PM me if you have any further questions.

I dont use the clevis pins anymore. I had a different Idea in my head until I actually did it. It ended up being more of a pain in the ass then regular bolts and was not as easy as I figured trying to remove and reinstall the seats.

The seats do recline a pretty good amount and could go even further if it were not for the Tuffy Deck. To be honest I never sit in the back every now and again I will do it just to see how comfy it is. The bench had more leg room but with the buckets it kinda works well... I have meant to take the time to fine tune it a little bit just havnt had much free time lately. I want to try and lower the seats a little bit.
